HISTORY: In 1985 the City Council approved a zoning change from a
Multifamily-2 District and a Retail District to PD-97 for retail uses
on this property and the adjoining 120,000 squaze-foot shopping
center on 11.6 acres of land. The Final Plat for the Comers of
Coppell Addition was approved in 1986, which encompasses the
subject property as Lot 2. No mutual access or fire lanes to serve Lot

2 were recorded as part of this Final Plat; however, the current
applicant has provided staff a copy of a "Reciprocal Easement
Agreement" which provides for non-location specific cross access
between Lot 2 and the remainder of the shopping center. The
owners, at the time of the agreement, were Southland Corp (7-11)
and Corners of Coppell Joint Venture.
It appears that the shopping center changed ownership between 1986
and 1992. In 1992, the current owner, Blue Chip Partners, replatted
the Corners of Coppell into three lots to allow for the marketing of
the individual lots (building and parking) for office uses. Lot 2 was
not included in this replatting activity nor was any provision for
mutual access between these two lots.
TRANSPORTATION: Sandy Lake Road has recently been improved to a four-lane divided
thoroughfare within 110 feet of right-of--way. MacArthur is
constructed at a four lane divided thoroughfare with sufficient right-
of-way to accommodate asix-lane divided roadway.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Retail; C (Commercial)
South -Vacant Shopping Center; PD-97-Retail
East -Single Family-Woodridge, Section 5; PD-145
West - Vacant Shopping Center; PD-97-Retail
COMPREHENSNE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
neighborhood retail uses
DISCUSSION: This request for replat approval is the companion request to
the amendment to PD-97-R to allow for the development of
a retail building on this tract of property. Given that staff is
recommending the site plan for the retail building be held
under advisement to allow additional time to resolve access
and fire lane issues, this plat needs to be denied per Section
212.009 of the Local Government Code, which states that
if action is not taken on a plat within 30 days of the date it
is submitted, the plat is considered approved. It can be
brought back with the zoning request at a later date. Anew
application fee will not be required, only a revised plat

which addresses the access and fire lane issues, and revised
to reflect the following:
1) The filing information of easement instruments
required to provide needed off-site mutual access and
fire lanes.
2) The extension of the fire lane along the west side of
the property.
3) The recording information on the abutting properties
needs to be corrected to reflect the Corners of
Coppell, Lots 1R, 3R&4R, Block 1, Replat, filed in
Vol. 92191, Pg. 1015.
4) Correction of the format and the spelling of the Flood
Plain Administrator's signature block.

vicinity map.

the Retail District, as reflected on the site plan.

1. Fire lane on North side does not meet Fire Code requirements. If fire lane is to extend to the existing
parking lot, then a fire lane will need to be dedicated as an easement on that property. In addition, the
existing parking lot will be required to be kept open at all times, as well as being properly stripped as a
fire lane. Before the fire lane can be approved, a letter from a registered professional engineer stating
that the existing bridges aze capable of supporting fully loaded fue apparatus, including ladder trucks
will be required.
2. An additional fire lane will be required on the West side of the property.
3. All fire lanes aze to be platted as easements.
